The Three Fifths Compromise was necessary.  It balanced representation in the House of Representatives between Northern states with smaller populations and Southern states with large number of enslaved people whose numbers could unfairly tip the scales. The compromise counted enslaved people as 3/5's of a person for purposes of representation.

Rama09 [41]

The Missouri Compromise is the act of Congress set the line of latitude at 36 degrees 30 minutes north, as the northernmost limit for slavery. Hence, option B is correct.

<h3>What is the Missouri compromise?</h3>

Slavery was outlawed in the remaining Louisiana Purchase areas north of the 36o 30' parallel after the U.S. Congress approved a statute in 1820 that accepted Maine as a free state and made Missouri a slave state while maintaining slavery in Missouri as a slave state.

The controversy around slavery gave rise to the Missouri Compromise. A bill that made Missouri a slave state in the Union had been passed.

Before the Kansa-Nebraska Act of 1854 overturned it, this agreement had been in existence for more than 30 years. In 1857, the compromise was declared to be unconstitutional.

Thus, option B is correct.

Congress lacked the money it needed to pay off the government’s war debt because _____.
Bingel [31]

The correct option is "the national currency was too weak"

While the Southerners resigned their seats in the Senate and the House of Representatives, secession allowed the Republicans to approve proposals that had been blocked by the Southern senators before the war. Among these laws that were approved highlighted the Morrill Act, through which the important iron industry was protected; the Homestead Act, according to which all free citizens who applied for 160 acres of land not yet worked from the territories outside the Thirteen Colonies would be granted; the construction of a transcontinental railroad; the National Banking Act, with which the use of the national currency was developed and the Law of Legal Course of 1862, which authorized the use of bank notes. Fees on income to finance the war were also approved with the Tax Act.
